2025-26 NHL Miscellaneous Thread

Minnesota re-signed center Michael McCarron, 6 years/$3.3 million AAV. He gets a full NMC and a 15 team NTC in the last 3 years. He’s coming off a 2 year deal with a $900k AAV signed by Nashville during which he delivered 13 goals and 18 assists in 153 games for the Preds and Wild.
 
McCarron looked effective in the playoffs while slotting up higher than he normally would be. I suspect that made him a lot more money.
 
Honestly, I’m guessing that there is no trade list … or that the team leaked that three team version to make Larkin look bad, at which point his agent expanded it. As for an actual list? Nah. It’s too early in the process for one thing.
 
The Dallas Stars are leaving downtown Dallas for suburban Plano, about 17 miles north of the American Airlines Center. The Plano City Council approved $700 million in funding to redevelop The Shops at Willow Bend into an entertainment district surrounding the new arena. Their existing lease at American Airlines Center expires in 2031. The move will put them closer to their practice facility and executive offices in Frisco, leaving them about a 6 miles north commute.

This follows the Dallas Mavericks announcement last week that they too plan to leave Dallas for the northern suburbs, when their lease expires, also in 2031. They’re not moving as far north as Plano, about 10 miles north of the arena.

When the moves are complete, only the WNBA Dallas Wings will be playing in Dallas. They currently play in Arlington but are building an arena in Dallas to be completed next year . The Cowboys and Rangers play in Arlington, about 20 miles west of Dallas, FC Dallas plays in Frisco.

A lot of teams are/will be moving from city centers.....When Atlanta moved to Cobb County they did a 3 year study and found 95% of their season ticket holders and buyers lived outside Atlanta and closer to where the Battery is now. Unless you are in NY or LA to an extent, downtown arena's dont make much sense anymore.
